I'm just a middle-class non-conformist white girl who listens mostly to rock/metal/industrial/trip-hop/r&b. I don't claim to be a hip-hop expert, so don't shoot me if you don't agree with me (especially all you Ja Rule haters..).The rappers I like are mostly unpopular w/the mainstream (at least in my opinion..I don't listen to pop radio and rarely watch MTV), and their lyrics are interesting, thoughtful, and touching to me.
1) Nas
2) Foxy Brown
3) Ms. Jade
4) Vita
5) Mobb Deep
6) Ja Rule (at times)
7) Fabolous
8) Charli Baltimore
9) Mocha (rememeber her?)
10) Timbaland/Missy Elliott
Also, some honorable mentions to Tupac, Notorious B.I.G. (although his lyrics go overboard sometimes), Dr. Dre (same there), Loon, and G.Dep.
